The company
The marketplace of artists and suppliers for your events
Artistealo is a marketplace of artists and suppliers for events, where you find and book the service you need for your celebration.
The challenge
The starting point
I joined in the final stages, with much already in place, to close the product. Critical pieces were still pending: the PayPal payment integration and the search form for the artist or service inside the marketplace.
The search had extra fields that created friction, and the platform ran on Python and Django, a heavy stack that needed tuning so the experience would be as clean and fast as possible.
The solution
How I solved it
I integrated PayPal payments and finished the search, cutting the unnecessary fields down to the bare minimum so searching wasn't a chore.
I optimized the Django server side to lighten the experience and worked closely with the client as features shipped, with lots of QA and testing, especially on payments.
